color:blue'>The extent of variation, as you describe it, makes it highly
unlikely that these were printed from plates derived from the same setting of
type. In any case, extensive modification of existing plates is important, if
it rises to the level of revision, as seems to be the case here, a distinction
which would be lost in treating these as impressions in a single, which tends
to obscure the existence of significant variants. If you change the master
record, you only hide the NYC printing bringing forward the Auburn one. In
separate records you can flag the differences easily enough by adding subf. e,f
to the 260 and if necessary a bracketed 250.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif";
color:blue'>If you have access to both variants, be aware that anything that
doesn’t vary should not vary <i>at all</i>, and should clearly have been
printed from the same or identical pieces of metal: the exact alignment of type
should be the same except where the plates have been corrected. A test: if you
lay a strait-edge from a given point at the top of the type page to a given
point at the bottom it should cross the intervening unmodifed lines at exactly
the same points. If it doesn’t, it’s a different setting of type,
i.e. a different edition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

all—I have 2 versions of an 1852 Auburn, NY imprint. One chief
difference is printer, with one printed in Auburn, the other in NYC.
There are minor differences in how t.p. appears (typeface and use of ampersands),
but both have the same publication and copyright dates. However, there
are minor differences in pagination and some variations, not all minor, in
content and order of material. The OCLC records for both print and
electronic versions reflect the NYC variant. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

am uncertain as what to do on OCLC; SU Library is not yet creating
institutional records and I’m not sure I see a justification for a new
master OCLC record, since the total number of pages is the same, with the
Auburn printing having a gap of 9 numbers between the Roman and Arabic
sequences where the NYC version has no gap.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
